Dr. Ostmeyer is a licensed psychologist, licensed behavior analyst, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents. Dr. Ostmeyer earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas, majoring in psychology and applied behavioral science. She completed her masters degree in psychology at Washburn University and completed a 2-year assistantship/internship at the Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment. She received her doctorate in psychology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University after completing a pre-doctoral internship at Integrated Behavioral Technologies and the University of Kansas Medical Center including a Leadership in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) fellowship. Upon graduation in 2014, Dr. Ostmeyer accepted a position as the Director of Community Research and Clinical Services, and later Associate Executive Director, at Integrated Behavioral Technologies, a small not-for-profit aimed at increasing access to evidence-based behavioral intervention for youth in rural and low-income settings. In 2018, Dr. Ostmeyer realized that her administrative position pulled her away from the direct service work of helping children and families that she loved, so she shifted her focus to full time clinical practice. Dr. Ostmeyer utilizes a primarily cognitive-behavioral and behavioral framework for helping children and families. She understands that treatment should be tailored to each individual taking into account their personal strengths and the systems and environments in which they live. Her experience as a consultant, clinician, researcher, and instructor across home, school, and community settings helps her understand the different systems and environments in which each family and child exists.
